If a big teamwent bust and were dropped to L1 or L2, they would all of a sudden become very attractive prospect to buy up and invest in and there would be all kinds of interest in snapping up a ready made PL club on the cheap.
I think the punishment has to be the same whoever it happens to, unfortunately Bury need to be made the example of as to what will happen in future, it may in the long run stop teams like Sunderland and Hull and Wigan and Portsmouth from experiencing the difficulties they have after having short stints in the PL and massively overspending, knowing they could drop to the bottom of the pyramid may have a positive knock on effect the whole of the EFL and clubs will be less likely to overstretch themselves or gamble their futures.
